Chapter 1382 Reverse Scale (1)
?1382 Reverse Scale (1)
Hours of torture broke them down. Even the former adventurers who watched everything, not the ones who experienced the torture were traumatized. They could not feel the pain, but they could tell how painful it was based on their voices.
Twenty Slayer Blades formed right behind the twenty people. In one clean cut, the blade cut through their necks, killing them all. Blood spurted out from their body, creating a fountain of blood. It was followed by a thud sound as the head fell to the ground followed by the body.
Tang Shaoyang collected the bodies from the ground. He did not immediately leave the hall as he stood in the middle of the pool of blood, “This is what happened to the traitors. This is the punishment for traitors. Engrave this in your mind before you think of betraying me!”
The sound of people gulping down their saliva was the only thing that could be heard after the declaration. Tang Shaoyang turned toward the exit while he waved at Worm1, “Clean the mess. Our target is not only The Temple now, but also the Adventurer Guild.” The sourc of ths content s NovlFir.et

Waskin City
Carlos Artura, the current Waskin Adventurer Guild’s Guild Leader, and also a Cardinal. One of the twelve adventurers who had the authority to communicate directly to The Adventurer Guild’s patron God Ranks. He headed to his office early in the morning because he got a call from his vice president about yesterday’s issue.
If not for that problem, he would come to the guild in the afternoon. It annoyed him that something big came up. As he arrived at the Adventurer Guilds, the adventurers greeted him with respect. It was something he enjoyed, the respect and admiration from the others. Something he deserved as a Guild Master and also Cardinal.
Carlos Artura greeted them back with a smile and a nod. That was what he was known for, friendly and kind among the twelve cardinals who treated the adventurers below them coldly. He went up to his office, and four people were waiting in his room.
He rubbed his shiny, bald head, “What’s wrong, guys? Why do you guys look so depressed early in the morning?”
Vice Guild Leader, Amon, rolled his eyes, “I am surprised how can you be so calm in this situation? We just lost three Black Iron Adventurers. We can’t underestimate our enemy, Carlos.”
Carlos maintained his composure. He went to get his hot cocoa from the table and got on his seat, “What about your plan to capture his family?”
Amon shook his head, “We lost contact with them. I presumed they were dead by now, and the remaining adventurers were quitting Adventurer Guild. We can’t contact any adventurers from the six cities anymore.”
“Please take this issue seriously, Carlos! They are in Harkon City right now. That means he has defeated The Temple’s army in Turan, an army that is supposed to take a kingdom. Not just that, The Temple sent three apostles too, and they were dead.”
The Apostle was equally strong to the Cardinal. At least, on paper, it was supposed to be the case. It was hard to tell which one was stronger because none of them had ever fought each other recently. If their enemy could kill three apostles. It was clear that their enemy was highly stronger than Carlos Artura. They needed a special measure to face the unknown enemy, but Carlos Artura looked so calm and carefree.
“I see, our plan failed….” He smiled despite being reminded of the incoming danger, “Don’t worry, Amon. I have reported the situation to Sir Hemlin.”
Hemlin was one of the two God Ranks from the Adventurer Guild. Different from the Seven God Alliance. Hemlin did not regard himself as a God, so that was why Carlos Artura called him Sir.
“Sir Hemlin says he will send the tenth and eleventh Cardinal to take care of the issue. Three Cardinals should be enough to get rid of this fool who dares to touch The Adventurer Guild. And I am sure The Temple will not stay still after losing six temples and also their army. From what I heard, The Harmony Temple gathered five Apostles to Waskin City. Five Apostles and three Cardinals, that’s more than enough to face one person, right?” Carlos Artura smiled.

Tang Shaoyang returned to the castle in a foul mood. He was in a foul mood because today would be the last day he spent with his family. As he returned to the castle, he told them the current situation.
The Adventurer Guilds discovered his family through the traitors, and his family would be a target for sure. He did not want them to stay if that was the case. No matter how confident he was, if the enemy targeted his family. There might be a mishap, something that he could not predict that might happen, so he would rather play safe.
If the enemy did not know his family, he might keep them with him. They would not target his family if they did not know. It was different now, and he did not want to take the risk.
“I see….” Elinova sounded disappointed, but she had to agree with Tang Shaoyang. She did not want to be a burden to him, after all. She was aware that she was not much help in the battle. If she could not help, then she should not be a burden too. It was a pity that she could not meet the people from her old village.
Tang Shaoyang kissed her on the forehead, “We can always come back after I take care of the issue.”
Ava did not protest about the decision, though it was quite hard to convince Li Yue and Li Jiaying to return. But he managed to persuade the two little girls to return earlier from their vacation. He promised them at least three days, but it was just two nights and one day. That was why it was not that easy to convince them. Especially with how much fun they had yesterday.
Tang Shaoyang sent his family with Rumru back to Earth and returned to Harkon City with Spirit Switch later. His target was no longer The Temple now, but also The Adventurer Guild.
